Sethupathi Plot:
Like many other cop films, Sethupathi is based on the professional and personal life of a police officer. How does this film differs from other similar flicks? It's the characterization of the lead actor and how he balances between being a family man and a ruthless cop.
Generally, the life of an upright policeman will have its own set of dramas. One such interesting incident comes with a potential of putting Vijay Sethupathi's career in jeopardy.
How he overcomes this situation forms the crux of Sethupathi.
Performances:
Sethupathi is a one man show right throughout. Any actor playing a cop in an action-oriented Tamil cinema should be prepared to carry the entire film on his shoulder and Vijay Sethupathi does exactly that with elan.
Remya Nambeesan as a housewife and mother of two has done a neat job. Her chemistry with Vijay in romantic sequences is one of the biggest positives of Sethupathi.
Vela Ramamoorthy, who plays a negative role in the film, is good to watch. His performance is commendable as he comes up with a believable act.
Technicalities:
Music director Nivas K Prasanna impresses with his songs and background score. While all his songs are enjoyable, his BGM manages to lift certain scenes up.
Editing by Sreekar Prasad is another positive in the technical department. His sharp cuts (especially in the first half) keeps you hooked to the movie.
Cinematographer Dinesh Krishnan scores big when it comes to the song and action sequences. However, his monotonous angles and lack of experimentation come across as a disappointment.
While screenplay is good in the first half, the latter half gets predictable. Very few scenes manage to arouse your interest in the second half which is a worry.
Overall View:
Overall, Sethupathi is an honest attempt by the team to produce a decent cop entertainer by infusing action, romance and sentiment. But what really makes the film work is Vijay Sethupathi's ability to shine throughout.
